"Why cover the beautiful surface of your furniture with a sticky coating of oil, grease, gum or waz?

Why make a hard, tedious job of polishing?

Use Lyknu - the 'one-cloth' polish.

Lyknu cleans and polishes in one single operation - removes all accumulation of grease, gum, wax and dirt, leaves the surface absolutely dry, and restores the beautiful finish your furniture had when bought - just like new.

Lyknu save 8/4 of the time, 4/5 of the work, and1/2 the cost of polishing.

You simply shake bottle well, moisten a piece of cheese cloth with a few drops of Lyknu by applying cloth to mouth of bottle and go over your furniture, rubbing only until surface is dry. No second cloth needed - no second operation! None of the usual laborious rubbing!

Three sizes: - 25c, 50c, $1.00.

If your dealer cannot supply you, send his name and address and 25c for bottle mailed prepaid.
